World's Most Powerful Selfie: Obama, Cameron, Schmidt Criticized For 'Having Fun' At Mandela Memorial Service

UK Prime Minister David Cameron, US President Barack Obama and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmid have faced serious backlash from people since photos of them taking a smartphone picture at Nelson Mandela's memorial service surfaced. 

People are of the opinion that they were too joyful for a memorial service. I have one question, Where South African's not joyful? Since the passing of the icon it has been singing and dancing all the way for the people of South Africa. It has never been a time of sorrow or tears. Even in the stadium yesterday, sounds of singing and vuvuzela overshadowed the event. We are celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela. 

If I were the one sitting beside Obama and Cameron I would take that selfie, you can count on that. :-)
